The Savage Sword of Conan
The Original Comics Omnibus Vol.2
Experience Conan at his most visceral in the original epic comic magazine The Savage Sword of Conan! The dark and gritty tales within are perfect for Conan fans looking for that extra bit of bloody violence!
Savage Sword of Conan, the cornerstone of Marvel's black-and-white magazine line, offered up stories of fiction's most famous barbarian unencumbered by the Comics Code! With the rules of civilised publishing cast off, Savage Sword presented ferocious, untamed tales the likes of which Conan himself would approve. Writer Roy Thomas and artistic greats including John Buscema and Neal Adams took full advantage — and the results were a sensation! Multi-part sagas like 'The People of the Black Circle' luxuriate in extended tellings, while Buscema's take on 'The Tower of the Elephant' explores the nuance of an all-time Robert E. Howard classic. And it's topped off with Marvel Comics Super Special #2, a tale of vengeance lavished with fully painted colours! Collecting Savage Sword of Conan (1974) #13-28 and Marvel Comics Super Special #2.
Roy Thomas joined Marvel as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every Marvel title: The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, The Sub-Mariner, Thor, The X-Men and more. He wrote the first ten years of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched the Defenders, Iron Fist, The Invaders and Warlock.
